After reading recent health studies that found those who take less than 5,000 steps a day drastically increase their risk of heart disease, obesity, and other major health problems; I decided to get a pedometer and track my steps. I bought a few cheapo ones at Target and they stopped working after a month or two. I then purchased a $50 Sportline pedometer from Sports Authority which had to be exchanged twice and ultimately returned because it was inaccurate and cheaply made. Finally, I have found the all around, absolute best pedometer on the market! The Omron HJ-112 was very highly rated online for accuracy by multiple consumer testing sites. It can be worn fairly discretely or carried in a pocket or purse. It counts steps, miles, and calories, and allows walkers to track aerobic steps (running) separately. I have an ellyptical machine and have used a lot of pedometers that don't record my workout accurately, but this one dose! It also holds information for up to seven days and resets automatically every day. The price is right for $22.50, but I've used pedometers three times as much and honestly prefer this one above all. I ordered mine online, it should come with the clip, safety cord, and battery. Hope this review helps!
